The Betacantrips Travelogue

Parker wondered how I’m keeping these all up to date. Here’s what I do:

• I send an IM to update@identi.ca.
  • (Really, I use XChat or irssi to send an IRC message. For me, IM is mediated through BitlBee and ctrlproxy, but you don’t have to know that.)
• Identi.ca posts to the Identi.ca feed.
• Identi.ca cross-posts that to Twitter.
• rss2email running on my server wakes up every hour, checks identi.ca’s RSS feed, and sends an email if necessary.
